"Hoogmoed komt voor de val", это та же пословица на голландском языке. Голландский и немецкий очень похожи.

Liebe Nastja, Я немец и мне нравится как ты говоришь на моем языке. Знание крупных языков центральной и восточной Европы - признаки хорошего образования. Und aufgrund dessen strebe ich auch danach meine Russisch-Kenntnisse zu verbessern.

Schöne Sprichwörter auf Russisch. Danke vielmals! Спасибо большущее!

In relation to "о вкусах не спорят" (=about tastes, they do not argue), it is worth noting that the verb спорить (=to argue) is an imperfective verb from the imperfective/perfective pair спорить/поспорить

Love is blind = "O amor é cego" in portuguese from Brazil.

In Polish
1. Almost the same like German: *Lepszy wróbel w garści niż gołąb na dachu.* "a sparrow in the grasp is better than a pigeon on the roof". There are also rhymed, with birds, e.g. *Lepszy dzięcioł w ręku, niż orzeł na sęku.* "a woodpecker in a hand is better than an eagle on a snag." But the most used is: *Lepszy rydz niż nic.* "(if you need a food) a saffron milk cap is better than nothing”
2. *Kto nie dopilnuje, ten zwykle żałuje.* "who doesn't supervise, that one usually regrets". With measure, e.g. *Lepsza miara niż wiara.* "measuring is better than (just) believing", *Lepiej mierzyć niż wierzyć.* "it's better to measure than (just) to believe", *I przysłowie mówi stare: wszystko dobre, byle w miarę.* "And the old proverb says: all is good, as long as it agrees with the measurement."
3. *Nie wszystko złoto, co się świeci.* "not everything is gold that glitters".
4. Never heard by apparently we have: *Poranek mądrzejszy od wieczoru.* "The early morning is wiser than the evening." and *Ranek zmyślniejszy od nocy. "The morning is more ingenious than the night." I think that 100% people would just say: *Przespać się z tym.* = To sleep on it.
5. *Kto wysoko mierzy, nisko spada.* "Those who aim high fall low." The German is from 'Biblie' (from 'Book of Proverbs'). Russian doesn't have any? We say: *Pycha kroczy przed upadkiem.* "vainglory paces before the fall" = Pride goeth before the fall.
6. I can't think about anything. I looked how we translated Polonius in 'Hamlet': *treściwość jest duszą mowy* "brevity is the soul of speech" = brevity is the soul of wit
7. *O gustach się nie dyskutuje.* "One's do not discuss about tastes.", *Rzecz gustu.* = Matter of taste
8. I have no clue what it should be. Russian Wiktionary says that *Мал, да удал" means something a'la *Nie oceniaj książki po okładce.* = Don’t judge a book by its cover. But German Wiktionary says that *Klein, aber fein* = Small but mighty -- we do not have anything simillar as a proverb or idiom.
9. *Miłość jest ślepa* = Love is blind. This is from 'The Merchant of Venice' by Shakespeare.
10. *Bez pracy nie ma kołaczy.* "there are no kolaches [type of bread] without work". *Pieczone gołąbki nie wlecą same do gąbki.* "Roasted pigeons will not fly in the mouth by themselves." *Nic samo nie przyjdzie.* "Nothing will come by itself." *Nic samo się nie zrobi.* "Nothing will be done by itself."

Thank you !💐

“Pride goeth before a fall.” (The ancient Greeks knew a thing or two about hubris.)

[lingling]

О вкусах не спорят. Similar is:
Each to their own!

In der Kürze liegt die Würze...
Краткость - сестра таланта!!!
Очень хорошо

[lingling]

The Englisch equivilent of, "Hochmut kommt vor dem Fall" is:
PRIDE COMES BEFORE THE FALL.
This English saying is also well known and used a lot.
Thanks so much for this fascinating lesson 👌👏

German had a huge influence on the English language. There are many similarities.

[lingling]

The translation of, "Erst wägen, dann wagen" is:
First consider carefully (the pros and cons), then dare (to do it).
Спасибо большое🙏💕. Вас Подкаст очень интересно.

I just started learning German too, German and Russian seem very very literal in languages to me and paint better pictures with the words. English, tend to be less literal and more vague, with synonyms to try and be more poetic.

Why do Russian carpenters have to measure 7 times before cutting? Maybe they drink a lot or maybe they don't want to have to eat the cost of making mistakes. Even after I measure something 3 times I can still get it wrong. I measured a piece of plywood for the backing of my gate and screwed it all together and measured everything a few times. Then when I finished the gate, I went to put the gate in place and it was all reversed. I did the mirror image of what I wanted. I just undid the screws and reversed it . So it was not a waste of material but just my time. Easy to make mistakes and the same mistake multiple times.
